Bab 195: Suspicious enough
"I will be right back" said Dom as he looked at Natasha.
"Hmm" said Natasha as she just waved him off as she focused on her laptop, he had to go and get his phone, if they had agreed that they were going to do this.
Dom did not say anything else as he walked to the door and he opened it as he closed the door behind him as Natasha sighed.
"Oh Natasha, just what are you getting yourself into with this man?" asked Natasha to herself as she sighed and she ran her fingers through her hair, she knew that this would not turn out well, she did not want to be entangled with Dom at all, and yet here she was.
She knew Dom, he would use this to his advantage, you could give him an inch, and he would end up taking a mile, it would be much more harder for her to push him out of her life this time, last time she had succeeded and he had left her alone for three full months. But now… she knew she was in for a ride that she was not prepared for at all.
Even though he had told her that he was not going to ask her any more questions, she still did not trust him at all, this was the same man that had broken her heart and shattered it in pieces as he stepped on it and left nothing but crumbs, heck, she had even died because of him in her last life, so she could not afford to make any more mistakes, not now, not when she had just began to find out the secrets of her origin and her life.
"*Sigh*, Be careful Natasha, be careful" she said to herself as the door of her room suddenly opened and Dom walked in as she stared at her laptop, he really was getting too comfortable here.
"I confirmed the time, and it's going to be 9pm tomorrow evening" said Dom as he looked at his phone.
"Alright" replied Natasha.
"Joy is going to be sad that we are not going to be there for her Birthday" said Dom as he sighed.
"I know, and I am going to make it to her" said Natasha as she smiled, sadly, tomorrow was October 13th, it would be her baby's 5thh birthday and she would miss it, she did not want to miss it, but she could not help it, she could not let this man slip from her hands.
"What did you get her for her birthday?" asked Dom as he smiled, he could see the smile on his little princess's face right now.
"It's a secret, you don't try to steal my idea" said Natasha.
"I am not, I already got her a present" said Dom.
"Oh is that so?" asked Natasha.
"And what might that be?" asked Natasha.
"As you said, it is between father and daughter" said Dom as Natasha as she scoffed, he could not even come up with something original.
Dom looked at his phone as he went to his call log as he scrolled down and searched for a number.
"What is your dress size?" asked Dom as Natasha eyed him instantly.
"Is for the gathering tomorrow" said Dom as he explained as she was already judging him with her eyes alone.
"It is a black tie event only, and I am sure that you did not bring any formal clothing along with you" said Dom as Natasha stopped frowning.
"Size 8" she replied casually as she went back to typing on her laptop.
"Alright then" said Dom as a dialled and number and his call was picked.
"Yes Good Evening" said Dom as he spoke to the person on the other line of the phone.
"I need a black tie suit, and a size eight simple red women's evening gown delivered to the Wallflower hotel early tomorrow morning" said Dom.
"Nothing too flashy" said Dom.
"The name of the account is Dominic White" said Dom.
"Alright thank you… I will be looking forward to seeing you tomorrow… goodnight" said Dom as he smiled and he ended the call.
"Why red?" asked Natasha as she looked at him and she frowned.
"Because it is one of the few colours listed on the invitation" replied Dom casually.
"Hmm" said Natasha.
"Have you eaten yet?" asked Dom.
"Yes I have, and you know what it is getting late" said Natasha as she stood up and she walked to where Dom was standing.
"And I have to see you tomorrow, which is very unfortunate, so goodnight" said Natasha as she opened the door of her room and she gestured that he leave, she seriously could not deal with seeing him at all.
"Alright then… goodnight" said Dom as he saw no other reason for him to be here at all, so he walked out of her room and she closed the door as she sighed, he was a pest that she just could not get rid of.
Natasha sighed, this was going to be a very long ride.
…
The next evening
"Stay close, these people cannot be trusted sometimes" said Dom as he looked at Natasha.
"Don't tell me what to do" said Natasha as she scoffed and she did not wait for him to open the door for her as she got out of the car and he gave his car keys to the valet as he followed after Natasha, she was just too stubborn for her own good.
Natasha was wearing a long short sleeved red gown, it was simple, and a lit ran from below her knee to the ground, she wore red lipstick that matched her dress, and she let her hair down, if you ask her, she thought that this was all just too much, but she had no choice but to blend in.
"You know that you need me to show the invitation" said Dom as Natasha scoffed, that was she hated the most, that she needed him.
"Don't act like we are enemies, you already look suspicious enough as it is" said Dom as he lowered his voice and he smiled as he showed the invitation to a woman at the front desk as she smiled and she let them in.
"Smile, wave, and don't speak if you don't know what to say" said Dom as Natasha walked beside him, those were his rules while dealing with people who were snobbish, such as the people that they were going to meet right now.
Natasha did not say anything, she was here for one thing and one thing only, which was to find that man she needed to meet so desperately.
Natasha and Dom walked into a great hall that only spelt one word… lavish, the room was sparking, as there was some idle chatter, and soft classical music played in the background, there were many men and woman who all looked distinguished.
Natasha had to give it to whoever organized all of this, they really did a great job, but sadly, she was not here to enjoy the décor, she was here to find that man, so she instantly began to search for him, hoping she would find him soon.
"Do you know who you are looking for?" asked Dom as he looked at Natasha and she did not reply to him, the truth was that she did not know the man personally, but she had seen many pictures of him before, and she was sure that was enough for her to be able to recognize him.
"Ahhh you must be Dominic White, CEO of the import and exports group of A-Corp" came the voice of a grey headed man in a black suit, as he looked no older than forty, and he had a brown haired woman in a green dress.
"Yes I am, excuse me, but I have never see you before" said Dom politely as he had his socializing smile on his face.
"Oh yes sorry, please forgive me for my rudeness, I am John Lovelace, the owner and CEO of Lovelace fabrics" said the man as he smiled and he shook his hand.
"It's a pleasure to meet you Mr. Lovelace" said Dom as he smiled.
"The pleasure is all mine, Mr. White, after all, it's not often that we get a young CEO in his early thirties to attend our gathering" said Mr. Lovelace as he smiled and Dom smiled.
"I cannot take all the credit, my company has been existing long before I was born" said Dom as he smiled.
"And yet you made it known" said Mr. Lovelace as he smiled.
"Ahh, please excuse my rudeness, I did not notice this beautiful lady by your side" said Mr. Lovelace as he smiled at Natasha.
"This is my wife Natasha" said Dom as he introduced Natasha.
"Ahh what a lovely wife you have" said Mr. Lovelace as Natasha just gave a polite smile, she really wanted to focus on the task at hand right now.
"Thank you Mr. Lovelace" she managed to say as her eyes were still scanning the room.
"You are welcome, and this is my wife as well" said Mr. Lovelace as he smiled and he pointed to the woman beside him with a smile.
Natasha looked at the woman, she looked like she was about her age, and there had to be an age gap of 15 years between them, or at least she thought so, but who knew with these snobby rich people.
"Nice to meet you Mrs. Lovelace" said Dom as he smiled and the woman just smiled.
Dom and Mr. Lovelace began to chat lightly about their business, and Mr. Lovelace began to mention that he was interested in beginning to export his fabrics abroad, and not just in the country alone, and Dom said that his company could assist in that.
Dom took a glass of champagne from one of the waiters as Mr. Lovelace did the same, Natasha was offered a glass, but she politely declined, she was not here for that at all.
Natasha just stood there, scanning everyone's faces as Dom spoke to Mr. Lovelace, until finally, she found the man that she was looking for…there he was, simply dressed in black jeans, and a brown leather jacket, it looked like he was the odd one out here, and Natasha was grateful for that, because she was able to recognize him almost immediately.
She only saw the right side of his face from the angle he was positioned but she knew that it was him, something in her mind told her that it was him, in that sudden moment the man smiled as he began to walk away.
No, he could not get away, not now, not again, Natasha knew that she had to follow him.
"Please excuse me, I need to use the ladies room" said Natasha as she smiled, and Dom nodded as she walked away quickly, but carefully, she had to find that man.
Natasha walked to the end of the hall, as she carefully looked to the left and she saw the back of the man as he turned to the left corner, she hurriedly followed after him, it was now that she was grateful that she choose to wear red sneakers and not high heels, or else she would not have been able to follow this man so swiftly.
Natasha quickly stopped in her tracks as the man she was following stopped, and he looked to the left and to the right as Natasha stayed behind the corner, did he know that she was following him?
The man shrugged off the strange feeling he had as he continued and he turned to the right, the sound of the chatting and music were fading out more and more.
Natasha peeked through the corner and she saw that the man was no longer there, she had to catch up to him quickly before she lost him, so she ran slowly to the corner where he had turned, she saw no one else in the hallway, which confused her as she carefully walked, she wondered where the man had gone?
In that moment as Natasha let her guard down, she was suddenly pulled into a room as she gasped at how sudden everything had happened.
"Why are you following me?" came the deep male voice with a deep Russian accent as he held Natasha and he pinned her to the wall.
Natasha was in shock, the man was obviously stronger than her, and she did not know what to do right now, everything just happened to suddenly.
"Give me a reason why I should just kill you now devochka (Girl)" said the man as he held Natasha neck, and she knew that she had to act fast now or else.
